myke38 coder of the Starcraft fangame “StarLite” had to stop the development, due to copyright infrigment.

It’s amazing how a little homebrew game can gain that much attention that even Blizzard Entertainment go after someone.

A tip for all homebrew coders, try to avoid the use of ripped graphics and music, avoid the use of copyrighted names and characteres and you’ll be on the save side.

Update 15:35:
There is a DIGG article about this here: http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/01/22/starlite-blinks-out/

The guys at cre.ations.net posted an interesting article about the recent 1.1.3 Firmware for iPhone’s.

Read on:

So I’ve had the chance to examine the 1.1.3 firmware on a deeper level (using a technique not developed by me and which I can’t release so don’t ask) and have noticed some interesting changes behind the scenes that are quite blogworthy:

– SpringBoard no longer needs to be modified (via SummerBoard) in order to show extra applications in the /Applications folder.
– All applications now run as the user ‘mobile’ instead of as root.
– Preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root.

What does this all mean? I’ll tell you what it means.

The iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is ready for official installable applications.
